Title: Alice Vygus - Bradenham, Norfolk
Post by: msv on Friday 07 October 11 13:40 BST (UK)

On the 1871 Census,   RG10 - 212 - Folio 5 - page 4

I have come across an Alice Vygus aged 28yrs - single - living in St. Pancras, Middlesex.

She says she  was born in Bradenham, Norfolk - [circa 1843].

I cannot find her on any other Census, nor can I find a birth/marriage/death entry for her.

If anyone finds her popping up anywhere, can they let me know please.


Thanks in advance

The age in 1871 is heavily marked and overwritten and I would think unreliable.

In the 1891 census there is a 40 yr old Alice VYGUS, single born Bradenham, in service as a cook in Brighton: RG12/815/108/8.

Hi Mark

I can only imagine what various transcriptions can do to the name Vygus   :) ::)

Lots of lateral thinking needed with this one

Yes,

It was a lot easier when you could look through the actual registers  - you'd be surprised at how the name is spelled and mis-transcribed !

My 'Vygus'  line came from Bradenham / Saham Toney, but there is no record of this lady anywhere in the family.
